The Canada geese that flock near the pond by the Scarsdale Public Library are gathering friends of the unfeathered kind as word of a plan to cull their numbers spreads.

The Village of Scarsdale, in response to complaints about befouled benches and grass in the area, is working with the U.S. Department of Agriculture to round up the birds and donate their meat to the Westchester Food Bank. The adult geese will be captured this summer during their molting period, and their nests will be treated with corn oil to prevent eggs from hatching.
